I think, whenever Jamie is at the airport without Roy, like maybe with the England team or on a trip with the lads, he goes to the airport bookshop, reads all the back covers, and picks the one with the most ridiculous sounding plot to bring home to Roy :) he's like ah yes this sounds especially terrible Roy is going to love this! and he's always right

This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.
They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).
Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.
The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

Fav Tatsumaki moment?
Oho definitely this (my favorite panel of her):
The silent lead up to her signature Tatsumaki 'tornado' Twist attack, rending the earth's surface asunder like a massive dishrag of destruction, was impeccably awesome. And then her lifting the entire MA base up from underground into a gigantic Lance of Longinus (especially after both her hands had been symbolically pierced with stigmata wounds) to mercilessly spear the last remains of Psykorochi into smithereens upon its sacrificial deathbed was probably her most epic clapback of justice to date. 😩 Extremely satisfying to see her win with such Finality of Force that way. She absolutely proves why she's earned the top of S Class - demonstrating she's an entire domineering niche class of her own~

How forever-fucked obsessed in love are you with your ex? Are you "hallucinate her sitting on your chest taunting you while in an opium-induced haze" obsessed?
Cuz that's Charles Vane, poor bastard 😂😂😂
Those two really do deserve each other (derogatory) and I'm continually pleased as punch that we're never given information about what their specific falling out looked like

His voice was fading away, yet it was definitely not the voice of a man preparing himself for death.
Almost at the same time, roars of crackling thunders could be heard coming from the far side of the heavens. They did not belong to Indra's thunderbolts. The space-time was distorting, and the noises were generated by something crossing over a gigantic Gate.
Yoo Joonghyuk couldn't see that spectacle, but Anna Croft witnessed it in his stead.
It was an army enveloped in pitch-black darkness; a single realm buried deep inside an ancient Myth was currently crossing over to this world.
– Yoo Joonghyuk, you stupid bastard!!
Yoo Joonghyuk heard the loud yelling from the one standing at the forefront of that army and spoke up. "…Because I have allies in this turn who won't betray me."
[Nebula, < Underworld >, has joined the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'.]
Joonghyuk! You’re not allowed to yell at Dokja when you do stupid stuff like this!!!
Awww, but he trusted Dokja to come in time to save him.
BUT STILL DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS JOONGHYUK!
But also that was awesome and Dokja is totally gonna fanboy super hard over you destroying one of the strongest constellations of Vedas in a single strike. Right after he gets done cursing you out and grumbling with Sooyoung about what an idiot you are.
THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN JOONGHYUK!
But it was very Protagonist of you.

And so she must spin Miranda around again, to try and fit the fishcat into her inventory. The memories are flooding back anew.
“...Forgot to smoke the herbs again...”
